Dying wool has always intrigued me, but not enough to go there...I promised myself that when I started rug hooking I would not take on another hubby of dying wool, so far so good. Besides, there is so much out there available, I don't really miss it! I hope you're enjoying your time away from work?!?!? Tammy

OMG, Kelley, you'd have laughed your ass off if you's seen me doing my very first...and maybe my second... dye job. You'd have thought I was performing brain surgery in the outback on my own while reading instructions.

Admittedly I'm not a dye by eye dyer and if it doesn't turn out then I'm not sure what to do but toss it in the stash and use later or dye again.

I know you gave me some small, older books, will have to see what ones I have.I usually use emma lou's colors, and never follow the recipes, lol, but it is fun experimenting.I also have the 3 color book with swatches, but rarely use the books since I just throw it all in the pot and see what happens;) Maybe that is why your colors are so much nicer than mine, maybe it is time I follow directions.

Very interesting blog, so glad someone is posting on dying. My first dying turned out really bad. The blue sky formula turned out grey so my hooked rug sits in a corner till I buy more white wool. Using Pro chem dyes and waiting for this person to restock her dye book. Would you be interested in having a FB page dedicated to dying that is wool dying? Thank you again for the great post!
